Minutes 8 -24 -04
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to adopt an ordinance amending Section 4.11, of the Zoning Ordinance relating to
Temporary Buildings, to include standards for Temporary Sales Offices.
ACTION:
BACKGROUND
This proposed text amendment is staff initiated. The intent is to create standards for
temporary sales offices (trailers) that are part of larger residential developments. Prior to this
amendment, the City has processed sales trailers on a case by case basis through individual
"Planned Unit Developments (PUD). The objective of the amendment is to establish a
baseline expectation of proposed standards for individual developers or home builders,
especially if the development is not 'a PUD. The PUD process is still an option for regulating
sales trailers if appropriate.
PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING
Commissioners requested further explanation regarding the permit extension process. They
were uncertain about the administrative ability to allow for multiple six -month extensions.
With no other questions coming from the audience, the Commissioners adopted the
recommended motion with two changes. The substantive change only allowed for one six-
month extension rather than unlimited extensions proposed in the draft. The other change
was fixing a grammatical error.
DISCUSSION
The attached draft ordinance outlines the requirements for residential sales trailers. It allows
only one trailer for each subdivision and requires issuance of a building permit. The permit is
limited to six months or 30 days after the issuance,of a certificate of occupancy for any model
home, whichever occurs first.
The Planning Commission recommended only one six -month extension, approved
administratively, be allowed under the ordinance. However, staff can anticipate some
situations that would require more than one six -month extension. For example, the Evermoor
sales office was in place for at least 3 years. At this time, it is unknown what Contractor
Property Developers Company (CPDC) and Rottlund intend to do with the Brockway

Excerpt from the Regular Planning Commission Meeting of August 24, 2004
Assistant Planner Lindahl reviewed the proposed Zoning Ordinance text amendment that
was initiated by City staff. The intent is to create standards for temporary sales offices
(trailers) that are used for new residential subdivisions. The proposed amendment would
allow for one trailer for each subdivision and requires the issuance of a building permit
for the trailer. The permit will be limited to 6 months or 30 days after the issuance of
certificate of occupancy for the model home, which ever occurs first. Staff may grant a
six month extension. Sales trailer must meet the standards for off - street parking which
are six stalls per 1000 square feet.
Members requested clarification of the draft ordinance. The draft ordinance stated, (If
requested in writing prior to expiration of the original six month period, one six month
extension may be granted by staff). Mr. Lindahl clarified by restating the draft ordinance
as, (If requested in writing prior to expiration of the original six month period, six month
extensions may be granted by staff).
Commissioner Powell questioned the criteria for granting extensions. Mr. Lindahl
responded that it is the intent to have some solid end date to address the removal of the
sales trailer.
